Episode 124: Ed and Lorraine Warren Part Three It's a Family Affair

Welcome back to our third and final episode on Ed and Lorraine Warren: demonologists, ghost hunters and freakshow carnival hucksters.

Today we take a hard look at the many scandals that have rocked the Warren family, from the allegations of sexual abuse on a minor to fraud, and the troubling lineage which saw grandson Chris McKinnell, groomed by Ed from youth to be a paranormal investigator and exorcist, be usurped in favor of his stepfather Tony Spera and the very public estrangement that followed.

We also delve into the modern fate of the Warren’s Occult Museum and home, the Devils on the Run tour featuring the real Annabelle Doll, and the bizarre death of Dan Rivera, as well as taking a look at the new owners, comedian Matt Rife and Elton Castee, who are currently renting the home and museum out for nightly stays.

It is an epic, sometimes very disturbing, and truly American story, too wild to believe yet too crazy for fiction!!
